The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.

Species already connected to this water

Fish recorded for Waubeesee Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Waubeesee Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
